Tout était très bien excellent rapport qualité prix personnel adorable hôtel très propre. Personnel au petit soin. Vue sur la mer les pieds dans l’eau. Encore mieux que ce que j’espétais. Chambre sympa literie confortable. Cadre très jolie tout était au top rien à redire. Je le recommande si j’y retourne je prendrais le même hôtel vue l’emplacement y’a pas moins cher

Underbar personal och mycket bra läge precis på stranden. Väldigt enkel standard men det goda och personliga bemötandet väger upp en hel del.

La struttura si presenta completamente l’opposto rispetto alla descrizione del sito. Ritengo assolutamente non corretto è offensivo la vostra inadempienza nel presentare e nel non verificare le idoneità dei servizi offerti. Le quali vanno a discapito anche degli albergatori e dei professionisti adiacenti. L’unica cosa positiva è la posizione dei bungalow sulla spiaggia vista oceano. Per tanto ritengo necessario che vengano effettuate verifiche rispetto alle proposte.

Bungalow con Posizione fantastica a pochi metri dalla bianchissima spiaggia, vista la categoria dell’hotel, i servizi, il personale e la pulizia, più che soddisfacimenti. Un appunto va fatto sulla poca sicurezza, essendo un complesso completamente aperto sia dalla spiaggia, che dal retro verso il paese, con conseguenti intrusioni nei bungalow da parte di ladri che tagliando le zanzariere attraverso le larghissime inferriate riescono a prelevare oggetti e borse dei turisti ( ci e’ successo e come a noi anche ad altri ospiti) questo aspetto e’ da rivedere... Nel complesso una buona vacanza dovuta soprattutto per la bellezza dei mare...
